Technical Tip: The routing table update attempted by the link monitor does not work for dial-up IPsec VPN types.
| Description | This article explains that link-monitor does not work with dial-up type IPsec VPN. |
| Scope | FortiGate. |
| Solution | In dial-up type IPsec VPN, the routing table is not updated even if the link-monitor status is changed to dead as follows. diagnose sys link-monitor status Link Monitor: LinkVPN, Status: dead, Server num(1), HA state: local(dead), shared(dead)
get router info routing-table all | grep VPN S 192.233.181.0/26 [5/0] is directly connected, VPN-A, [1/0]
Reason: This is expected behavior. It will not affect the routing table if the link-monitor is configured on a dial-up tunnel with the net-device disabled(default).
Workaround: If this dial-up tunnel has only one spoke, it must be set to a static tunnel. If not, it should use the static route with the gateway specified and BFD enabled.
